This paper proposes a new method based on FCD (Forest Cover Density) model, which maps the vegetation taking into consideration the canopy density. The critical analysis of well-known methods from Romanian literature, concluded that the age and stand consistency are the main factors in hydrological mapping of the vegetation. In the new technique we integrated several vegetation indexes, which made possible a hydrological mapping based entirely on remote sensing products. We have applied the new method in Upper Tarlung Watershed, and the results obtained revealed a strong correlation with the results offered by classical methods.
